Title: Miniature modification
Post by: ryoden on 26 September 2010, 02:48:41 PM

Hi,

I have been planning a zombie game and was selecting figures to make up various groups of survivors, I needed a waitress figure but could only find this one.

She would be ok but i wanted her holding a pistol rather than a stein of ale, has anyone got this figure and if so could they tell me if the ale would lend itself to an easy removal and replacement with a pistol, I can't tell from the pic whether its rear half is welded to the fig or not.

Alternatively if anyone has seen a suitable alternative point me in it's direction.

Also I haven't modded a figure before so any advice / pointers on such thing would be useful.  This is my first foray back into tabletop figures since 13 (now 40:P)

The conversion would be easy.  Clip off the stein hand and pin on a hand holding the right pistol.  Search Reaper for "Pistol" for something appropriate.

Ok thanks for the suggestions, I have found a gun hand; hopefully it will match up ok.
